Technology for medicines and supplements: coating systems for immediate release with easy swallowing
10/22/2010 By Chemyunion
Polymeric coating systems are technologies applied to medicines and supplements—mostly tablets, but they can also be used in other pharmaceutical forms as needed.
They consist of a carefully balanced formulation that meets all requirements for robust, safe, and stable development. The coating polymer provides protection against moisture and oxidation of active ingredients, the plasticizer mainly aids the manufacturing process, and other components enhance patient acceptance by making the tablet more palatable and easier to swallow.
In addition to the core function of protecting chemical properties and ensuring formulation efficacy, the coating also plays an important role in:
- Masking unpleasant odor and taste
- Reducing dust formation
- Improving stability and visual appearance
Patient resistance to swallowing larger tablets remains a sensitive issue for the pharmaceutical industry, but it can be easily overcome through the use of innovative technologies and processes.
High technology and innovation to make the consumption of medicines and supplements more palatable.
